This is a relaxed craft session with limited numbers designed for children and young people who have a disability, are neurodivergent or experience anxiety, that would find it difficult to attend the drop-in sessions across the wider Victorian Christmas event weekend.
In the session, participants can make the crafts that will be on offer as drop-in activities at the Victorian Christmas event- Christmas robins, garlands, star decorations and wreaths, but in a quieter setting with limited numbers.
The session is free but booking is essential. Please only book a ticket for each child or young person taking part in the session. Accompanying adults do not need to book a ticket
